Comment:

This is a quiet mix that follows the course of a relationship. I know that it's a hackneyed theme, but I've placed songs that sing to the heart (well, MY heart if you must know). It begins with a longing, an emptiness; it flirts with the possibility of love, and closes with some wistful remembrances, a few too many cocktails, and one of the most lovely lullabies I know. All very softly so.

Is it my imagination, or would "Sun Comes Up..." come at the end of a relationship? It does have a longing and emptiness tone to it, but then the chorus IS "I kinda like this extra few feet in my bed". My own feelings aside, this is a really lovely mix, and I do like the way it flows. Great idea and very well done, cheers! -Famous.
